    Miami-Dade had bigger pitchers with past expectations, such as former Top 200 talent Michael Heller (a Florida transfer) and righty Tyler Bodwitch, but the 5-foot-9 Llorens teamed with Myles Smith to give the Sharks a solid one-two rotation punch. A South Carolina recruit, Llorens lacks size but battles hitters with a low-90s fastball and good, hard slider. Both rate as 50 pitches on the 20-80 scale thanks to his control and bulldog approach. He'll be a contributor for the Gamecocks unless a team takes him fairly early this spring.
